The Weeknd – ‘King Of The Fall’ Video

The Weeknd releases a new video for “King Of The Fall”, which follows the NSFW visual for “Often” earlier this week. Very much more of the same here as Abel and co. enjoy a house party filled with women. True to his whole, new age Prince-like, pimp sway over chicks, the closing scenes feature girl-on-girl action while Abel’s “I make all of them swallow” lines repeat over and over. Just another day in XO land.

Maaan… Before n#%gas start throwin’ shade… Let Me just say it’s definitely been a joy to watch/hear The Weeknd’s Growth… Hell… I remember a time when O’ Dude wouldn’t even show His Face… Let alone shoot a video… And… I’m kinda’ glad/sad He’s switching His Sound switch to something more upbeat by tone… I just hope that He doesn’t go too Pop/Drake though…

if anything, “Often” is a throwback to his “House of Balloons” phase. Can’t see him veering into pop music, but his music really isn’t limited to a specific genre anyway. It’s kind of a blend of electronic, ratchet, bluesy, contemporary R&B music.

One thing I’ve liked about the way The Weeknd has blown up is that he hasn’t really changed his style up all that much. Yeah Kiss Land isn’t as raunchy as House Of Balloons, but it is (in my opinion) still very much The Weeknd. And has ADrake22 said, “Often” is definitely a throwback to House Of Balloons.
